Resides in: United States

I am a freshman at the University of Alabama studying Chemical Engineering and Spanish and I am on the Pre-Medical track. I have always been very passionate about volunteer work and being a part of bettering the lives of people anywhere that I can. I am incredibly humbled to be able to announce that I will be heading to Africa this coming summer to use my skills and talents to help better the lives of people in Tanzania.

GIVE Tanzania

This coming summer I will be traveling to Tanzania and Zanzibar Island, for three weeks, with an organization called GIVE. GIVE stands for Growth International Volunteer Excursions and they aim to inspire growth, empower global citizens, and to ignite sustainable change worldwide. This trip is something that I have wanted to do for years now and I am so excited to be able to share this information with you. The goal of the trip is to contribut to the community by volunteering to build schools, houses, and help the people develop basic communication skills. Most of these people have never been exposed to the English language before so teaching the local people basic words and the alphabet will be a large part of this trip. Also, there is a great need for schools because everyone should have the opportunity to be educated, so we will be building schools from water bottles, sand, and concrete. Words cannot even begin to express my excitement and my gratitude that I have been so blessed as to be given this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Please help send me to Africa so that I can make a difference in many other people's lives. I really hope that by reading this some of you will also be inspired to volunteer anywhere and help make a difference in the lives of people that you meet each and every day. I need all of your love, support, and prayers in order to make this trip a success! Thank you all so much!!
